Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
How we handle bath resealing in Arnos Grove
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Arnos Grove as everywhere else we work.

Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Questions from Arnos Grove
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
Everywhere in the UK, Arnos Grove included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Why it’s worth resealing in Arnos Grove
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arnos Grove use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Signs you need bath resealing in Arnos Grove
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
